Beer: Brother Thelonious
Style: Belgian Strong Dark Ale
ABV: 9.4

Poured into a gold rimmed wine glass because I mean business… Thelonious pours a deep caramel red with a nice head which dissipates rather quickly. This seems very normal for most belgian styles, so far so good. The aroma is rich of a nice roast and a sweet molasses with a touch of booziness. The first sip definitely warmed me up! It is rich with caramel malt and the molasses follows through from the smell to the taste. Seems to have a generous amount of Belgian candi sugar but it’s not overly sweet, to put it into perspective it’s not sweet at all when compared to a belgian quad. This beer starts out sweet and warm but finishes dry with a nice roasted caramel touch and a mild hop profile, nicely balanced. This is a great beer for log cabins and or just plain sitting on the couch. Drink one and tell me what you think.
Stay thirsty my friends…
